INFO:
● The vehicle icon may be misaligned when
starting the vehicle just after starting the
engine.
● The vehicle icon may also be misaligned if dif-
ferent sized tires or tire chains are installed.
● The system has a function that automatically
corrects the vehicle icon position when it is
misaligned from the actual position.
● Vehicle position correction by GPS may not
function when the vehicle is stopped.
● If the vehicle icon position does not return to
normal even after driving for a while, correct
the vehicle icon position manually.

DETAILED MAP COVERAGE AREAS
(MCA) FOR THE NAVIGATION SYS-
TEM
This system is designed to help guiding to the
destination, and it also performs other functions
as outlined in this manual. However, the system
must be used safely and properly. Information
concerning road conditions, traffic signs and the
availability of services may not always be
up-todate. The system is not a substitute for
safe, proper and legal driving. Map data covers
select metropolitan areas in the United States
and Canada.
Map data includes two types of areas: “Detailed
coverage areas” providing all detailed road data
and other areas showing “Main roads only”.
NOTE:
Detailed map data is not available in many
areas and is generally limited to select ma-
jor metropolitan areas.
WHEN A GRAY ROAD IS DIS-
PLAYED ON THE MAP
● When you are driving on a road displayed in
gray after the vehicle has deviated from the
suggested route during route guidance, auto-
matic rerouting may not start immediately. ●
The navigation system does not provide route
guidance for roads displayed in dark green.
Therefore, if the destination is set on a road
displayed in dark green, the enlarged map
display will return to the ordinary map screen
at some point on a suggested route that is
near the destination. Also, voice guidance will
stop at some point on a suggested route that
is near the destination.
● Places information and street names near
roads displayed in gray may not be contained
in the map data.
LNV0518
10-8General system information

– If it is impossible to reach the destinationor waypoints because of traffic
regulations, etc.
– If the only route to reach the destination or waypoints is extremely complicated.
– If the destination, current vehicle position or waypoint is within the “Avoid Area”.
– If a part of the route is included in the “Avoid Area”.
● The following may occur when the route is
displayed:
– If you calculate a route on a main road, the starting point of the route may not ex-
actly match the current vehicle location.
– The endpoint of the route may not exactly match the destination.
– If you calculate a route on a main road, the system may display a route from an-
other main road. This may be because
the position of the vehicle icon is not
accurate. In this case, park the vehicle in
a safe location and reset the vehicle icon,
or continue driving to see if the position
of the vehicle icon is automatically ad-
justed before recalculating the route. – There are cases in which the system
shows an indirect route to reach the des-
tination or waypoints, if you set them
from stored or facility information. In or-
der to correct this, you must be careful
about the traffic direction, especially
when lanes with different travel direc-
tions are shown separately, such as in-
terchanges and service areas.
– This system makes no distinction be- tween limited traffic control and total
control (blockage) . It may show an indi-
rect route even if the road is usable.
– Even if the freeway preference is set to OFF, a route that uses the freeway may
be suggested.
– Even if the preference is set to OFF, a route that uses a ferry line may be
suggested.
– Ferry lines, excluding those that are only for pedestrians, bicycles and
motorcycles, are stored in this system.
Take into consideration the travel time re-
quired and operational condition before
deciding whether to use them or not.INFO:
The system will only announce street names
when the system language is set to English.
Street names are not announced when the sys-
tem is set to Français (French) or Español
(Spanish) .
BASICS OF VOICE GUIDANCE
Voice guidance announces which direction to
turn when approaching an intersection in which
a turn is necessary.
NOTE:
● There may be some cases in which voice
guidance and actual road conditions do
not correspond. This may occur because
of discrepancies between the actual
road and the information on the map
data, or it is due to the vehicle’s speed.
● In case voice guidance does not corre-
spond to the actual road conditions, fol-
low the information obtained from traf-
fic signs or notices on the road.
● Route guidance provided by the naviga-
tion system does not take carpool lane
driving into consideration, especially
when carpool lanes are separated from
other road lanes.
ROUTE GUIDANCE
10-10General system information

●In some cases, voice guidance ends before
arrival at the destination. Refer to the destina-
tion icon on the map to reach the destination.
● If the system recognizes on which side the
destination (waypoint) is located, voice guid-
ance will announce “on the right/left” after an-
nouncing the arrival at the destination.
● Voice guidance may be partially operational or
inoperative due to the angle of roads at an
intersection.
● Because freeway lane information is available
only for approximately 7,000 major freeways
in North America, it is not possible to display
information for all junctions and exits.
● Freeway exit information may differ from the
information on the actual exit signs.
● Because it is not possible to consider data
concerning roads that are seasonally available
or unavailable, a route may be displayed that
does not match the actual traffic restrictions.
Be sure to follow the actual traffic restrictions
while driving. ●
Canada and Alaska contain many roads with
incomplete map data. As a result, when
searching for a route, the route may include
roads with incomplete data. In regions where
road data is not complete, voice guidance
may stop for long periods of time. Be sure to
follow the actual traffic restrictions while
driving. ●
The XM NavTraffic information service is not
provided for some cities. In addition, the cities
for which the traffic information service is pro-
vided may be changed.
● In some cases, infrastructure problems may
prevent the complete display of the traffic
information. This is not a malfunction.
● Due to infrastructure problems, or due to the
time when the traffic information service
broadcast is received, the displayed informa-
tion may differ from the actual traffic
conditions.
● Depending on the traffic information, a detour
route may be slower than the original route.
● XM NavTraffic is a service of XM Satellite
Radio. XM NavTraffic is only available in se-
lect markets within the 48 contiguous United
States and is subject to data availability. Re-
ception of the XM signal may vary depending
on location. It requires a monthly premium
subscription. The service provider is solely re-
sponsible for the quality and accuracy of the
information provided. All fees and program-
ming are subject to change. For more details

possible for the system to provide the short-
est time route even when traffic information is
considered.
● Traffic information that is displayed may differ
from information from other media (e.g.,
radio) , as other media may use different infor-
mation sources. ●
The XM NavWeather™ information service is
not provided for some cities. In addition, the
cities for which the weather information ser-
vice is provided may be changed.

used to replace your own judgement.
No itinerary suggested by this navi-
gation system should ever override
any highway regulations, your own
judgement, or a knowledge of safe
driving practices. Do not follow the

fails to suggest the shortest route, or
fails to direct you to the your desired
destination. In such instances, rely
on your own driving judgement, tak-
ing into account the driving condi-
tions at the time.
● Do not use the navigation system to
locate emergency services. The data-
base does not contain a complete
listing of emergency services such as
police stations, fire halls, hospitals
and walk-in clinics. Please show dis-
cretion and ask for directions in such
instances.
● As the driver, you alone are respon-
sible for your driving safety.
